My boyfriend and I have threesomes and we have a strict "no homewrecker" rule. We will not invite a third over if they are in a relationship, whether its an open one or not. So, not everyone thinks its no big deal.

Insurance companies will often only cover certain items through different medical supply companies, depending on the contract and the supplier. In the case of compression stockings, the reimbursement for the supplier is so low that most medical supply shops would lose money if they were to provide them through insurance. That, and Medicare doesn't cover compression stockings.

If you're in a position financially to where you can make it on your own, maybe you should tell them. If you're afraid of losing them, maybe not. But from myself and my gay friends, being honest about yourself with your family is much better than keeping it in.

Line of Credit: 1850 (minimum payment is 50.00, I've been paying 100.00 to try to slowly get it down)

Consolidation Loan: 3500 (minimum is 135.00)

Student Loans: 26000 (285 minimum for all 3 combined)

Auto: 13000 (400 per month)

Last month gasoline ran me 115, groceries ran 410, and every month I can usually set aside 100-150 for future expenses (oil changes, house repairs, etc). After taxes my paychecks run around $950 every two weeks.

I owe about $13,000 on it still but it's worth around $23-25,000 depending on who appraises it. I've tried to use this equity to get a used vehicle (and have it paid off) but the cosigner (my mom/parents) will not allow it.

After taxes I only bring in about $1,900 per month. My current monthly expenses are as follows:
Credit payments: $200
Consolidation Loan: $135
Student Loans: $285 (I'm already on an income-based repayment plan)
Vehicle: $400 (this is non-negotiable due to the co-signer's refusal to allow me to trade it in for something cheaper)
Insurances: $120
Phone & Gym: $120
What's left over puts gas in my tank and food in my stomach, and pays the utilities on this house. Utilities run me approximately $250/month so that is money that I will have when I'm out of this house. So that's about $1500/month in expenses. And I live around Houston, so an apartment is going to run around $700/month. Thanks again everyone!
